$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 4, 6:49 PM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 4, 6:49 PM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
649 PM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017
.AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail into the early evening,
however as a cold front approaches from the north ceilings will
develop and lower. MVFR ceilings will linger into tomorrow
morning and become VFR through mid day. Gusty NW winds are
expected tomorrow.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 440 PM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017/
DISCUSSION...
Sunny and warm across the forecast area this afternoon, with
temperatures reaching up into the lower/mid 80s away from the
immediate coast.
A vigorous upper trof noted in water vapor satellite imagery over
the TX/OK panhandles will continue translating generally ENE
tonight reaching NW MO early WED. Meanwhile, the associated SFC
low over Central OK will track TWD the mid MS River Valley, with
the trailing CDFNT progged to sweep through the area prior to
noon. Ahead of the front, a plume of relatively shallow Gulf
moisture will surge northward into the region tonight.
Considerable cloud cover is expected to be the primary result, but
isolated shower activity is possible within this regime of
WAA/moist isentropic ascent and via forcing along the front
itself. TSTM chances overall appear slim, but will increase a bit
late tonight into early WED over South Central LA where somewhat
better MSTR and lift are progged.
Main hazard with this front continues to be the expected strong
and gusty W/NW winds tomorrow, and have gone ahead and issued a
Wind Advisory for roughly the SE 2/3 of the area for sustained SFC
winds around 20 mph with frequent gusts of 30 to 35 mph.
Occasional gusts to near 40 are possible, with a guidance
consensus pointing toward South Central LA as having the greatest
probability. Winds will subside inland by tomorrow evening, with
the effect of the cooler and drier continental airmass apparent in
low temperatures WED night/THU am falling into the upper 40s/lower
50s.
Pleasant, mild, and dry weather will continue THU and FRI amid SFC
high pressure building in from the west underneath deep NW flow
aloft. Temperatures will begin to moderate FRI night into SAT as
the SFC high pressure shifts off to the east and ridging aloft
builds in from the west. Global models coming into slightly
better agreement that SUN will also remain dry, with low to mid
range rain chances returning MON and TUE as a slow moving front
sags toward the region.
13
MARINE...
Light to modest south to southwest winds will continue tonight. A
cold front is forecast to sweep through the area Wednesday
morning. A tight pressure gradient behind the front coupled with
strong winds within the lowest few thousand feet above ground
level will result in a period of sustained winds of 15 to 20 knots
with frequent gusts of 25 to 30 knots. Occasional gusts near gale
force are possible over the Gulf waters. Winds are expected to
subside over the coastal lakes and bays by Wednesday evening, but
will remain elevated over the Gulf waters into Thursday morning. A
light offshore flow will prevail Thursday and Friday as high
pressure settles over the region, with onshore winds returning
Saturday and increasing into Sunday.
